Wills, Evangelist: Being a Narrative of Mr. Wills's Remarkable Experiences as a Wharf-Rat, a Sneak-Thief, a Convict, a Soldier, a Bounty-Jumper, a Fakir, a Fireman, a Ward-Heeler, and a Plug-Ugly Why have I written this book? Because I want money. For what purpose? To make an effort, by the grace and under the direction of God, at demonstrating the uses to which He intended money should be applied. What are those uses? As He has revealed them to me, any measures, however crudely or with whatever elaborateness they may be prosecuted, which have the salvation of mankind and the glorification of His holy kingdom, are proper uses to which to apply money. How do I hope to accomplish such ends through the publication of this volume? Because I have faith that the story it tells will bring to others now in the clutches of the devil, the new and beautiful life which, praise God, has been bestowed on me.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Now a highly politicised medium, this book of prison literature collects a lively array of selections from the earliest recorded convict autobiographies, examining crimes, arrests and convictions, punishments inflicted, survival techniques and spiritual awakenings. Hard labour in coal mines, whippings, solitary confinement in bare unheated cells, water torture and iron maidens were just a few of the punishments meted out to these prisoners and vividly recounted in these selections.
